In what can be termed as a goof-up on Western Railway (WR) stations, the compartment signage at a few prominent railway stations has termed first-class compartments as ‘Gents First Class’ instead of just First Class.

Sources said while the Ladies First Class signage is appropriate, the Gents First Class one is erroneous as there is no such compartment on the Mumbai suburban railway as per the ‘Class Code’ of Indian Railway regulations. The First Class in question can be used by everyone holding a valid first-class ticket or a pass, irrespective of their gender.
